BEAUTIFUL APRIL

Isn't it beautiful living in the Canadian equivalent of Hawaii??

Everyone has been busy cleaning up yards and taking down and putting up new things.  The air is fresh and clean with the fragrance of the Earth.  Truly New Beginnings!





Karen has published her book:  No Flour, No Sugar, No Salt:  NO PROBLEM.  I have a copy at $20.00 if anyone would like to purchase it before Karen gets home. See me at my house, # 336.

Susan Schultz and John Edmonson  have moved back to Nanaimo and have been missed here with Koa.  It looks like a sale of the unit they were in could happen soon, but if not then Dorothy should be back in the summer.  My very best wishes to John and Susan... maybe Koa just couldn't stand Skippers' attitude anymore.  Hope not!! I mean it was pretty unreasonable, a tiny little barker like him going at Koa!  I used to think Koa was laughing at him with that big happy "grin" of his! 

I wanted to pass on a recipe that I got from a FaceBook that I tried with great results.  I did not use apple cider vinegar, just plain white.  This interesting recipe for weed control ( for pathways and graveled areas like driveways) beats everything on the market. 
    Please let it be known that it is entirely pet friendly and NOT like Roundup!!  I've tried it out in front of my place and it worked overnight.  Saves me the backwork of picking out green weed and grasses.  One word, though, do NOT use it on your lawn!!!! It does work on clover, but it works on grass, too.

My best to everyone, as usual!


Here is the Recipe:

Dandelion Season ==>> NON-toxic Weed Killer Recipe ==>> Good to use in yards with Pets & Children roaming around!



1/2 gallon of Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 c table salt
1/2 tsp Dawn liquid dish soap

Mix above ingredients in a spray bottle.
Spray weeds thoroughly.

1/2 gallon for around $6.40
Works better than Round Up - kills weeds on 1st application.

The Dawn dish soap strips the weed of its protective oils so the vinegar can work with deadly force. Safe for use in yards used by children and pets!!
